The world loathes Josie Bettencourt's kind– pod-survivors from the past. When death is certain, an ex-military and friend to the pod-hunters, saves her life. Unfortunately, she is soon arrested and taken straight to the Citadel, the heart of the Lancaster regime where they have ruled tyrannically for over fifty years. Now, young John is in power, hoping to make a change, to erase the wars, famines and unimaginable terror. When Josie meets the frighteningly powerful John Lancaster, she has to ask, is he really the so-called tyrants’ spawn? She soon discovers who the true tyrants are by unraveling a deadly plot to take over the world. And she realizes that her life in this new future are indelibly linked to the one she left behind.

SFFS 07/04/2012

Greetings and welcome to SFFS for this week. A slight change has taken place in the last week (this is informal, so not a "required" of anybody). Some of us thought that it would be nice to have a 'forum' where we can communicate on a different level, and we've decided to use Google+ as the medium for this. The concept is pretty simple: create a circle for SFFSat people, and add those who are on Google+. If you add me (Laurel C Kriegler), I will try to have a list of all those people I've got included in the circle somewhere on my profile so that you can add the same group - and in this way we can all see what each other says. Feel free to mail me on sffsat (AT) gmail (DOT) com if you have any questions and I can try and talk you through Google+.
